Pluto's largest moon, Charon, was discovered in 1978 by astronomer James Christy. Two smaller moons were later discovered in 2005 named Nix and Hydra (easy trick to remember them by; the probe on its way to is called New Horizon... take the first letter of each word and voila Nix Horizon / Nix and Hydra)
